This month, in May's issue of The Perpetual You magazine, I'm sharing 3 ways to style your fave kimono and my thoughts on how to embrace comfort in style, when it feels like you constantly go outside your comfort zone in every other area of your life. You can catch the full style spread here.

Be sure to have a look through the whole magazine, join their online society and even give them a follow. The ladies over at The Perpetual You are doing really wonderful things to help us all feel more like us, and I'm delighted to be a part of it.

Spring is finally here and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Moving to Whidbey Island in the dead of winter, when the whole place was shut down for the off season has left me feeling pretty gloomy and isolated. The sunshine, longer days (the sun sets around 8pm here and it’s only April!) and warmer temps have reignited some much-needed inspiration and motivation in me. So, I have lots of things to tell you about!

// I recently had to temporarily close my online shop while I work out some administrative formalities with the state of Washington. There was some confusion about whether or not I had to register my business here since I’m a military spouse and not technically a resident. After lots of phone calls to lots of government agencies, it turns out that I do. So my shop is closed while I take care of that, but it should be up and running within the next week or two. I will make an announcement once I can start accepting orders again. Thank you for your understanding while I work out these behind-the-scenes details!

// I just became a Milspo Project Chapter Leader here on the island. The Milspo Project is a military spouse-run non-profit that serves to empower and educate military spouse entrepreneurs so they can grow in their careers and expand their businesses. They also happen to be the first organization that ever featured my on their blog last May, they started their organization around the same time I started my business, and they’ve become pretty great virtual friends along the way.

After almost six months of living here, I still don’t really know anyone, let alone other business owners. I thought I'd join a local chapter to meet some other business-owning spouses, and saw that the closest one was pretty far away. Since I couldn’t just join a community of like-minded women, I’ve decided to create one. In general, I don't fit in with a lot of the Navy wives we're exposed to within my husband's commands, because of my creativity, drive and the fact that I own a business. I figured it was about time I get more involved with the kinds of women I can more easily relate to. (No offense to anyone! We all have our tribes, and I just have trouble finding mine through my husband’s commands.)

If you know any military spouse entrepreneurs that happen to live on Whidbey Island send them my way! For more on The Milspo Project, be sure to check out their website here.

// I’m excited to be featured alongside Mosfier P.’s collection in their Spring photoshoot. Tend just launched on Wednesday, and it all looks so dreamy! Everything styles perfectly with your fave Leocadia K. piece. I’m most in love with their jumpsuit, Marge. She and I would be great friends. You can see their full collection here.

I drink chai tea every day. I could be having the worst day in the world, and the idea of going home to a warm cup of chai tea is literally what gets me through the day. It’s how I unwind. It’s like this warm, non-judgmental hug in a mug. It calms me down, warms me up and opens my heart to new possibilities and to the love in the world, even when I have a really hard time finding or seeing that love. It is the epitome of my daily inspiration.

Cup of Chai is how I share those hugs, that love and all of my daily inspiration with you. I hope you feel inspired, empowered and deeply loved every time you’re here.
